This is usually the mother, unless there is a history of drug or alcohol use, mental instability or child abuse.
By including that in your divorce petition.
You divorce and get custody over your kids or just get full custody!
You have the visitation rights that were established in the divorce, and you have no custody rights.
It should be addressed in the divorce and custody arrangement. If not, it is a matter of frequent dispute. Generally, the custodial parent...but if the other is actually providing the majority of financial support, an argument can be made for them.
When a married couple with children divorce, there are custody issues involved. When a non custodial parent is given visitation rights through the court, he or she visits the child or children on the designated days that are established through the court.

YES, IF YOU ARE GOING THROUGH A DIVORCE, YOU NEED TO ASK FOR CUSTODY AS PART OF THE DIVORCE SETTLEMENT. THIS WOULD BE THE BEST TIME TO DO IT BECAUSE IF SOCIAL SERVICES ALREADY TOOK THE CHILDREN FROM THE MOTHER , THE JUDGE WOULD EASILY GRANT YOU CUSTODY THE CHILDREN.
Will you have custody or not?
In a divorce, the other spouse has to be notified of the motion for divorce, and they also have to be notified of your intention to sue for custody fo the children. So, no, it's not possible to be granted a divorce or custody of the children without the other spouse being notifiied of the intent.
Only if that arraignment was made in the custody part of the divorce settlement. If it wasn't so stipulated, then the non-custodial parent must patition the divorce court for a new custody hearing.
No, but it is a good idea to file a custody agreement with the courts in the county in which you live to establish custodial rights of both parents.
Yes it can. Custodial orders as well as child support orders can be established after a divorce and does not have to be included in divorce papers, although it is more common to do so.
